Review of Watcher

Watcher (I) (2022)
7/10
Yeah, it's Romanian Front Window.

But Bucharest plays a huge part in the atmosphere of an American stranger trying to fit into a foreign city besieged by a decapitating serial killer.

Is she just misreading the culturally-peculiar nature of her neighbors? Or is one of them really chopping the heads off local ladies?

The movie plays up her paranoia very slowly - like zooming in on that bag on the subway. Her overworked husband doesn't help, leaving her alone to dwell in isolation or to wander the streets barely knowing the language.

The movie is not revolutionary but it is decent. I found it entertaining.

Burn Gorman plays ambiguous so well.
